| Description | Republican Sharron Angle is considering running as an independent or third-party candidate for Congress if there's a special election and the GOP doesn't put her on the ballot.
That was the word circulating Monday as maneuvering intensified to win U.S. Rep. Dean Heller's seat if it becomes vacant.
If Angle does run as an independent, a three-way race with her, a Republican and a Democrat could open the way for a Democrat to win Heller's GOP seat, according to a new poll.
"It would not surprise me if she did that," said Robert Uithoven, a GOP consultant whose candidate lost the 2010 Senate Republican primary to Angle in 2010. "I don't think Sharron Angle has really ever cared about the consequences of a general election. I think her agenda for the last 20 years has been to get on the ballot to promote herself." |
